100 Evangelical Leaders Will Place Full Page Ad Asking Trump To Change Mind On Refugees
CNN is reporting that a group of 100 evangelical leaders are going to place a full-page ad in the Washington Post calling on Donald Trump to support refugees. The ad is in response to his Executive Order banning refugees from entering the United States.
The ad is scheduled to run in The Washington Post and will be signed by 100 evangelical leaders including at least one from all 50 states.
The advertisement will say, “As Christian pastors and leaders, we are deeply concerned by the recently announced moratorium on refugee resettlement.”
“As Christians, we have a historic call expressed over two thousand years, to serve the suffering. We cannot abandon this call now,” the ad says.
The advertisement goes on to say, “While we are eager to welcome persecuted Christians, we also welcome vulnerable Muslims and people of other faiths or no faith at all. This executive order dramatically reduces the overall number of refugees allowed this year, robbing families of hope and a future. And it could well cost them their lives.”
